Winner:Premio Nacional de Narrativa (2016)Premio de la Critica Espaola (2016)Premio Dulce Chacn (2016) Book of the Year 2015:La Vanguardia, El Cultural, Babelia and ABC An award-winning collection of Gothic and uncanny stories from one of Europe's most celebrated contemporary writers of short fiction. In Nona's Room the everyday fantasies of women slowly turn into nightmare, delusion and paranoia. A young girl who is envious of the attention given to her sister has a brutal awakening. A young woman, facing eviction, misplaces her trust in an old lady who invites her into her home. A mature woman spends the night in a hotel in Madrid and falls into a time warp... Cubas's stories are suffused with the chilling tones of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and the psychological intensity of Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train.

Strange, compelling stories set in Barcelona & Madrid. Assured writing, the stories portray realistic families & homes (eg a girl and her 'special' sister; a woman mourning her husband) but twist and turn with elements that make you question reality or the narrator's state of mind. It's not often that fiction surprises. The fearless exploration of the human mind reminded me of Elena Ferrante's Days of Abandonment. #Womenintranslation #witmonth

Twisty stories need dark chocolate. And yes, the box of maltesers is bigger than the book... 🙈😜 #witmonth #womenintranslation #Spain

ruthemmielang Ooh I've never had a DARK Malteser before... 7y
LeahBergen These stories sound FUN. Are you enjoying them? 7y
Abailliekaras @ruthemmielang I have a weakness for dark chocolate! Dark m&ms no good but I can recommend dark kit Kats & maltesers ... @LeahBergen yes I am! Darkly compelling. 7y
Abailliekaras @LeahBergen no 🍫 pun intended 7y

Inspired by @batsy I went looking for all my two word title books by #womenintranslation ... And found very few - I need more! Special mention to Suite Francaise but I've used that before so here's something new. This was recommended by a bookseller in Barcelona - it's her favourite Spanish author. Moving it up in my TBR ... #witmonth #twowordtitles #AnditsAugust day 15
